Munzer Abu Ghazala was born in 1942 in Mandatory Palestine to a Muslim family of Palestinians. Ghazala became a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), being a leader of the Supreme Military Council as well as the Palestinian National Council. He was also the commander of the PLO naval force based in North Yemen. In October 1986 he arrived in Athens, Greece, while in hiding from Israel, which was killing several PLO and other Palestinian leaders accused of being behind the 1972 Munich Massacre at the Summer Olympics, in what the Israelis called "Operation Wrath of God". As he drove through the Nea Smyrni suburb of Athens, his car exploded, killing him. Some reports believed that he died accidentally while transporting explosives, but some others believe that he was assassinated by Israeli Mossad agents. His death came only four months after Khaled Ahmed Nazal was also assassinated in Athens.
